Brainstorming+Apathy

One brainstorming technique that I use is sensory diagrams.  Good design revolves around the people that use it and by looking at how all of a persons senses could or would interact with a space can really help sort out priorities and analyze what you want the experience of that space to be.  I think that this technique is mainly directed towards designing a space for someone; wether it be a stage, a room, or a shelter but I do believe this technique could be applied in other disciplines.  I think most of the brainstorming techniques we studied can cover a broad range of disciplines.

"The opposite of good is not evil.  The opposite of good is apathy."

In my major we work in groups quite often and there is always a hierarchy within the groups pertaining to how much someone cares and how much time and input someone contributes.  Maybe its the pace in which we carry out our projects but to me that one...or so...people in the group who just don't care, is not going to bring me and my ideas down.   If they aren't carrying any of the weight it doesn't change the level of hard-work I will put in , it's just a shame that they can't help contribute but only will I make an issue of it when they go beyond the point of not carrying weight into the realm of being dead weight and dragging the rest of the group down.  I would rather have a group member who has different opinions than me rather than just being indifferent to the entire project.  I think that different opinions can only push a group into analyzing the project and birthing more new ideas.
